Fantastic news

Benayoun Giroud

Pope, Botman, Bruno, Isak as the spine. 3 of the brightest talents in European football in there. They could be here for 5-10 years as the mainstays.

Neto.

I'm all twinged out from Isak, give us a few days rest at the least please Maddison.

Remember the bed wetting panic throughout August about our window not been good enough Trust our owners! Mehrdad doesn't get the company card until the last week of the window anyway.

We had personal terms agreed with Isak two weeks ago - Wilson injury not related.

Pinching myself at this signing. It's the first one where it truly feels like PIF mean business. Trips, Bruno and Botman all excellent signings but this one feels like that tier above.

Please!

Our recruitment team from Howe to Ashworth are targeting the right players/characters. Trust them. Even if we don't sign anyone else this window (think we will), they will get the right ones in eventually.

Same 11 as last weekend?

Just watched extended highlights for some nufc fix and wow forgot about Maxi not squaring it to Wilson just before Schar's goal at 0-0. If Forest managed to grind out a draw there would have been some serious Maxi fume on here, HAD TO PASS!

Youtube scouting complete; Looks like he's versatile and picks up areas wide where he can beat a man as well being good in the air should we need him to play CF High upside of potential Relatively low risk considering fee - be less than Chris Wood?

Dubravka Krafth Lascelles Burn Bondswell Longstaff Longstaff Anderson Murphy Wood Fraser Gone Burn as surely Botman will be first choice sooner rather than later. Matty Shortstaff might be gone by then also

- Enabler - 13 goal involvements 20/21 - Similar output this year would be a good return for the price

This blend of Howe nurturing star boy into a top talent, another layer to the positive feel around the club right now

Very strong considering 3 premiums in there.

Just seen Perisic may not be 'up to speed' according to Conte. Might play it safe with Romero instead and start with 0.5m banked

Think I’m set

If you are going City players I'd recommend Ederson, Dias, Cancelo, KDB and Haaland only. The rest could be rotated at any point.

Yeah, could easily be b*llocks but a lot of their fans seem to think whilst they're a selling club they're not once the season starts.

Heard they'd given a deadline of August 7th too so this would tie in

They had no striker last summer and chose to go without for a season and wait for Haaland rather than sign Ronaldo because the figures didn't meet. Also what decent cover do they have now Zinchenko has gone to Arsenal? Cancelo will start at left back but behind that there's Ake/Laporte but they're primarily centre backs. They're in the market for a left back but they didn't value Cucurella at 50m. We're in the market for attacking players but maybe don't value Maddison at 60m.

Sources at the club are never going to leak to journos we have say 80m budget left right now, when they're trying to get the best possible deal for Maddison. Would be a terrible way to negotiate imagine Leicester seeing reports our budget is 80m and we won't budge from 40
